How it works

Calculate transfer time based on the amount of data to transfer and the observed or expected throughput.

Formula

Transfer Time = Data Size ÷ Observed Throughput

Usage

  • Data Size: Enter the total amount of data to transfer
  • Observed Throughput: Enter the actual transfer speed observed or expected to achieve

When to use this calculator

  • Actual transfer speed is known from testing or monitoring
  • Planning based on observed performance rather than theoretical capacity

For planning and estimating expected network throughput based on bandwidth, latency, and other factors, use the instead.
